To access Blogs API through the Zapier App Connector, configure your API key and the required scope. Ensure the scope is emails/builder.readonly so you can retrieve and reference email templates when publishing posts.
In Zapier, authorize the Zapier App Connector to access Blogs API using the provided credentials. This establishes a secure, token-based connection and lets you map fields from Formcrafts submissions to blog post data.
Key endpoints you’ll use in this integration include: GET emails/builder, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, and GET /blogs/categories. Not every flow uses all endpoints, but these form the backbone of publishing, updating, and validating blog content via the Zapier App Connector.
Trigger on a new Formcrafts submission and automatically create a corresponding blog post in Blogs API.
Actions include POST /blogs/posts to publish the post, and optionally POST /emails/builder to notify subscribers when a new post goes live.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, author, categories, slug
Trigger when a Formcrafts submission updates a blog post, prompting an update in Blogs API.
Actions include PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update fields like title or content; optionally fetch current post data with GET /blogs/posts.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content, categories
Trigger when a new blog post is published in Blogs API to distribute via email or newsletters.
Actions include GET /blogs/posts to retrieve post data, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slugs, and POST /emails/builder to send subscriber notifications.
GET /blogs/posts
postId, slug, title
Speed up content publishing by turning Formcrafts submissions into blog posts automatically.
Maintain consistent branding with templates and centralized workflows in Zapier App Connector.
Orchestrate multi-step workflows without writing code, all from a single console.
This section defines the core elements and processes: API endpoints, triggers, actions, and fields you map from Formcrafts to Blogs API within the Zapier App Connector.
An interface that allows apps to communicate with Blogs API using defined endpoints and data formats.
A specific URL path in the API used to perform a task, such as creating or updating a blog post.
The method to verify identity and permissions when calling the API, typically via API keys or OAuth tokens.
A URL-friendly identifier for a blog post, used in the post’s URL.
Automatically publish new Formcrafts submissions as blog posts using the Blogs API.
When a form submission is edited, update the associated blog post to reflect changes.
Schedule posts ahead of time and notify subscribers via email templates linked to Blogs API.
Connect your Blogs API in Zapier App Connector by providing credentials and selecting the required scopes.
Choose which Blogs API events trigger workflows and which actions to perform, mapping fields from Formcrafts as needed.
Test with sample data, refine mappings, then deploy the automation for production use.
No coding is required. The Zapier App Connector provides a visual setup to connect Blogs API and map fields from Formcrafts submissions. Use the built-in triggers and actions to automate publishing. You can adjust mappings and test flows without writing code. If you do encounter edge cases, you can use Zapier’s multi-step workflows to insert conditional logic or add supplementary actions, still without writing code.
Key endpoints include: POST /blogs/posts to create posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update posts, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slugs, and GET /blogs/posts to fetch posts. You’ll also find endpoints for category and author data (GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors) helpful for enriching posts.
Yes. You can schedule posts and trigger email notifications via the emails endpoints (GET emails/builder, POST emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data, and emails/schedule.readonly). This enables timely distribution of new content to subscribers. Combine with blog posting to create a smooth publish-notify loop without manual steps.
API usage may be subject to rate limits defined by the Blogs API and the Zapier platform. Plan your flows to handle retries and backoffs gracefully. If you anticipate high traffic, consider batching updates where supported.
Test steps include validating field mappings, running the trigger with sample Formcrafts submissions, and verifying the resulting blog posts in Blogs API. Use Zapier’s test mode to review data and adjust mappings before enabling the workflow.
Logs and task history are available in Zapier’s task history and the Blogs API’s response logs. Use these to diagnose failed requests, verify payloads, and confirm successful publishes.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
